The Shadow Line

The BBC does The Wire! Huzzah, one week in and there’s already questions.

Why does the Senior Officer want a quiet investigation?
Why were the brothers given a Royal Pardon?
Who were the (Turkish?) men in the car park who were after money?
Where did all of the money in the suitcase come from?

Six weeks left and I’m not even expecting to have all the answers come the end of the series. And how refreshing is it to have a programme that isn’t afraid of awkward silence (the wait for the lift being a particularly chilling moment).
